- Execute end-to-end testing across D365 F&O modules (as applicable), validating configurations, customisations, security roles, and business workflows.
- Perform smoke, sanity, functional, integration, regression, and UAT support testing for releases and hotfixes.
2) Test Management, Evidence & Traceability
- Build and maintain test plans and test suites in a test management tool such as Azure DevOps Test Plans (or equivalent), ensuring traceability from requirements → test cases → defects → closure.
- Maintain high-quality test artefacts and execution evidence to support release readiness and auditability.
- Contribute to continuous improvements in QA documentation and test assets.
3) Defect Management & Quality Governance
- Identify, document, prioritise, and track defects; participate in defect triage with cross-functional teams; re-test fixes and validate closure.
- Provide clear reporting on test progress, defect trends, and release risk to stakeholders.
4) Test Automation (RSAT + other tools)
- Develop, execute, and maintain automated test suites using RSAT
- Use Task Recorder assets to create/maintain automated business process tests.
- Manage parameterisation via Excel parameter files and integrate executions/results with Azure DevOps.
- Support building regression packs and execution cycles to reduce manual regression effort.
5) Collaboration & Release Support
- Work closely with functional consultants, developers, and business users to clarify expected behaviour and validate outcomes during sprint and release cycles.
- Support release validation activities and ensure regression coverage for periodic updates and production deployments.
Required Qualifications & Experience
- 5–7 years of overall Quality Assurance experience, including manual and automated testing.
- Proven experience testing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O) (or Dynamics AX with strong F&O exposure).

- Experience with test automation tools, including but not limited to RSAT.
- Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and excellent written/verbal communication skills.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have
- RSAT implementation experience: building BPM libraries, aligning test cases in Azure DevOps, and maintaining RSAT packs for regression runs.
- Experience testing integrations between D365 F&O and external systems (APIs, middleware, data platforms, etc.).
- Familiarity with Agile/Scrum ceremonies and working in sprint-based delivery.
- Basic SQL/data validation experience for backend verification and reconciliation
General Job Requirements (Quality Analyst – Standard Expectations)
- Ability to plan, design, and execute test plans aligned to requirements and quality standards.
- Ability to identify, isolate, document, and track defects, and verify fixes.
- Comfort working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to drive quality outcomes.
- Strong documentation discipline: test evidence, release sign-offs, defect summaries, and quality metrics.
